A Novel Operando Tool for Mechanochemistry: NQR spectroscopy
Abstract
In this contribution we present for the first time an operando study of mechanochemical syntheses relying on Nuclear Quadrupole Resonance spectroscopy (NQR). This method represents, to date, the best functional alternative to NMR spectroscopy for the real-time monitoring of ball-milling (BM) syntheses. Two mechanochemical syntheses were followed in operando mode by NQR, namely the formation of a halogen-bonded cocrystal and the preparation of a hybrid perovskite, demonstrating potential applications of this novel technique, as well as its complementarity to more conventional operando methods used in mechanochemistry. Lastly, we show that our BM-NQR set-up can also be used in real-time to follow the temperature evolution directly inside the milling jar.
